Shakenbake is one of the most exciting performers in the airshow circuit today and is currently the youngest first generation pilot with a surface waiver, among the ranks of only 300 current airshow pilots actively flying at that level. Shakenbake showcases blistering, surface level aerobatics in the hottest airshow plane, the Playful Extra 330, which delivers extreme power and more maneuver ability than any aircraft in its class!
